Coraline

Sam getting her hair done by the amazing Amanda.

Sami and her faces.
This is actually after her second cut. She originally didn't want to cut it so we trimmed it. When Amanda was done Sami started complaining saying it she wanted it like Coraline.

Amanda having to cut it, AGAIN. This is when Sami finally was asking for the Coraline cut.

Coraline #2

Coraline, we owe you!

Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of long hair. I don't like it all. Not saying girls with long hair don't look nice, some girls have gorgeous long locks but they're not for me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid my pop's refused to let me cut my hair. I use to cry and cry and my dad wouldn't budge. I remember for my second grade pictures I tucked my hair inside my dress and kind of pulled it out a little bit to give the impression I had short hair. I loved those pictures.

One day, I think my mom either felt sorry for me or got tired of hearing me whine so, she took me to chop off my hair. I was beyond happy! My dad on the other hand, not so much. He went 3 days without talking to my mother for that little number. I remember feeling bad but my mom said it was my hair and I should be able to do what I want. That, and my mom isn't a fan of long hair either.

Flash forward 20+ years and I am faced with the same predicament. Only difference is the person who didn't want to see the weave go was the person with the weave. For almost a year Mr. Andrade and I begged, pleaded and even bribed Sam into chopping off her hair. She'd always get pissed and say no, no, NO! She said if she cut off her hair she wouldn't be beautiful like The Little Mermaid or Rapunzel. She seriously thought she was all bad with her long hair. 

The day Mr. Andrade and I had been waiting so long for finally came. Sami wanted to cut her hair! All it took was the movie Coraline. Had I known this back then I would had bought her dolls and movie posters! Either way, I'm happy she finally agreed and is happy with her new hairstyle. Now we have to figure out how to convince her to hold off on the blue hair. She keeps asking for blue hair! Now I know how my mom felt when I was in high school.

It'Ah Really Is Ah His Birthday!!

This year Mr.Andrade turned the big 3-0. Being the hard worker that he is, he worked on his freaking birthday! I tried to plan something big and extravagant since he was turning 30 but, no dice. Mr. Andrade is a mellow dude when it comes to birthdays so, I had to cave and go with his wishes. Not totally might I add hehehe. The night started with a nice little romantic dinner for two at Frida's in Beverly Hills. The place is very small and very cozy. We enjoyed our meals and service. He had Carnitas and I had Enchiladas Tapatio. To drink I had a Chamoy Margararita and he had a Jack and Coke. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very low key. Guaranteed we will hit up that spot again. After dinner we went off to meet up with family and friends at a cool little spot called Down & Out. I instantly loved it! Their decor consisted of celebrity mug shots and pin up pictures. Mr. Andrade seemed to like it also, which is what mattered since we were there for him. It w...

Shit! It's been a hot minute since the last time I blogged about anything. Much has happened since I blogged, but I don't feel like getting into it, at least not today. Main reason being is I'm lazy, but happy I was finally able to get my blog back. I had been locked out for over a year. Well, not locked out, but I think my main domain got hacked. If you try to access sandoogans.com it'll take you to some asian website. It is partially my fault because apparently I failed to update my card to have my domain automatically renew. When I tried to get back in, I was able to view my blogs on my end, but it was no longer accesible for me to share. Glad to back, see ya again in a year. Just kidding, just kidding, maybe.

New Year, New You?

New Year, new me. Ehhhhh j/k First off, happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great time ringing it in. It was a very low key one for us this time around. We spent it at the parental units house, with my brother, uncle and cousin. It was nice and chill. We played some board game and ended the night with an intense couple of games of UNO. This year I decided not to do any resolutions. I usually don't anyway but had started up with them a couple of years ago. I don't buy the hype of "new year, new you" bullshit. I feel you don't have to wait for a New Year to make changes in your life that you feel need improvement. If you're about that life, props to you, I'm just not one of them. I had already started making minor changes prior to the New Year anyway. I've been staying off of facebook a lot lately. I'm not anti-facebook, or anything, it's just it was consuming a lot of my time. I was going to bed feeling guilty, about not spending more ...
